At the same time.
Yin Yifei and the other three third-generation core disciples also returned to the high platform that had been built by the martial arts practice field.
The three of them exchanged greetings with the twenty to thirty outer and inner sect elders, the other three generations of experts, and the secular elders from the Sword Whisper Sect outside the mountain. Then, they sat on the high platform and waited for the competition to begin.
Half an incense's time later, another bell rang in the martial arts practice field.
The exciting Great Competition of the Five Academies had finally begun.
Soon, on the announcement stone tablet at the center of the training field, the distribution of the first round was posted. The fifty seeded contestants from the five districts would be divided into twenty-five pairs and fight each other for the first round.
Li Qian, the strongest person of the green-robed east courtyard, was facing a disciple from the yellow-robed north courtyard.
Li Qian's right-hand men, Ge Yin and Zhang Tianlun, faced the disciples of the purple-robed south courtyard and the white-robed courtyard respectively.
The other disciples of the green-robed east courtyard also got their opponents.
Lin Xuan also saw his first opponent on the announcement stone tablet.
Blue Ten versus Red Six!
Lin Xuan's opponent was a disciple ranked sixth from the red-robed Western Campus.
At this time, the disciples of the five courtyards did not have to continue to line up and wait. They had the right to move freely. They could freely choose the matches to watch and support their favorite seeded contestants.
……
Arena 36.
When Lin Xuan walked up the stairs of the arena step by step, his opponent was already waiting impatiently at the center of the arena.
"Hahaha, my luck is not bad. I actually met an opponent from the weakest of the five courtyards, the East Branch. Moreover, he's ranked tenth.”When the disciple in red saw Lin Xuan, he laughed loudly and shouted impatiently,"Hurry up, don't waste time. After I defeat you, I still have to prepare for the second round!”
This youth's figure was like a bamboo pole. He was thin and tall, and his face was covered in pimples. His eyes were high and he did not take Lin Xuan seriously at all.
Lin Xuan's expression did not change as he came to the arena.
An inner sect disciple who was in charge of supervising the competition came over and carefully checked the equipment on the two of them. After not finding any sinister hidden weapons or other evil weapons, he instructed them on some things that needed to be taken note of and nodded to signal the start of the competition.
"Hehe, kid, you're unlucky to have met me.”The bamboo-headed youth sneered as he approached step by step.
Lin Xuan tied the rusted sword to his waist. He was indifferent and as calm as an abyss.
At this moment, a wave of cheers that were louder than Ichiro's suddenly came from below the arena. The voices of the crowd were deafening.
"Senior Brother Lin, you can do it!"
" Senior Brother Lin, send him flying with one sword strike!"
"Instant kill this arrogant red bamboo pole!”
"Senior Brother Lin, we're all here to support you.”
"Senior Brother Lin will definitely win! Victory!"
The cheers grew louder and louder, and the crowd was extremely noisy. The formation was extremely shocking, attracting the attention of many people in the surroundings. Even many important figures on the distant viewing platform noticed this scene and looked over from afar.
"I didn't expect you to be so popular. Unfortunately, it's useless. A martial arts competition isn't a competition of popularity. Victory or defeat depends on strength!”
The tall and thin man in red was also shocked by the enthusiasm of the large number of green-robed disciples of the East Yard who had gathered around the arena. He could not help but feel a trace of jealousy in his heart. He sneered and approached.
"If you're done with your nonsense, then let's start the competition.”Lin Xuan said.
"You…brat, if you're in such a hurry to get beaten up, then get lost.”The red-robed man was furious. He gripped the scabbard with his right hand and flicked his thumb. With a ding, the longsword turned into a silver stream of light and shot out.
At the same time, his feet stomped on the ground, and a terrifying force burst out. His entire body dashed out like a leopard. His right hand flashed as he grabbed the air and instantly grabbed the sword hilt. He became one with the sword and turned into a flash of lightning.
Terrifying swordsmanship!
He was even stronger than the cold Fang Tianyi.
The seeded contestants from the various academies were indeed not easy to deal with.
The sword qi came head-on, and Lin Xuan's long black hair danced wildly.
However, Lin Xuan's expression was extremely calm.
He didn't move and entered the mountain until the sword tip was so fast that it was about to pierce his body. Then, in a split second, he turned his body slightly to the side and dodged the sword. His fingers were like swords, and he attacked with the basic sword technique, Raising Clouds.
A purple-silver frost spread on Lin Xuan's palm.
In an instant, a threatening cold air erupted on the arena.
The red-robed, tall, and thin bamboo pole only felt that his ribs had actually sensed the direction of the finger sword. He felt a faint pain, and his expression could not help but change drastically.
He had never expected that a guy ranked tenth in the Eastern District could easily dodge his killing move, the Palace Sword of Lightning Pursuit.
One had to know that this move of his was as fast as an instant from the moment he drew his sword. It was an extremely powerful killing move of the entire set of sword techniques. However, he did not expect that not only could his opponent avoid it, but he also counterattacked with a basic sword technique that seemed to be clumsy!
Lin Xuan's black hair was like a waterfall, and his finger sword was covered in a strange color of frost, like an ice sword.
Red Shirt's tall and thin bamboo heart skipped a beat. He knew that he had encountered an expert!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The longsword in his hand changed its moves repeatedly, and a set of Lightning Pursuit Palace Sword was executed continuously.
Sword light rolled and was dazzling to the extreme. In the eyes of others, they saw continuous silver light rolling over. The terrifying sword light completely enveloped Lin Xuan in this terrifying sword light and drowned his figure.
Below the stage, this scene made many of the disciples of the east courtyard shut their mouths nervously.
However, Lin Xuan still did not draw his sword.
He was neither in a hurry nor slow. His palm was covered in purple-silver ice, and he constantly patted his opponent's sword gently. His eyes were bright as he constantly observed and analyzed his opponent's sword path.
The stage was filled with the crisp sound of the palm and sword colliding.
The tall and thin bamboo man's sword aura became faster and faster as he unleashed his full strength.
He felt that he had never been able to bring out this set of Lightning Pursuit Palace Sword to such a great extent. He had completely immersed himself in the sword technique. Every move and stance had almost reached the point where he could do as he pleased. He had never been in such a state when he was practicing the sword.
Gradually, the tall and thin Song Feixiong discovered to his surprise that the flaws and sluggishness he had encountered in his previous sword practice had gradually disappeared. The connection between the sword moves had almost reached a perfect realm.
The audience below the stage was also dazzled.
"Haha, Senior Brother Song Feixiong is indeed powerful. His set of Human Level Lightning Pursuit Middle Palace Sword has reached perfection. That disciple of the east courtyard in green clothes can't hold on any longer!”
The surrounding disciples of the Western Campus in red were proud of themselves.
"Nonsense, our senior brother Lin only deliberately let this bamboo pole go. Up until now, senior brother Lin hasn't pulled out his sword!”As Lin Xuan's number one fan, Zhang Fan immediately retorted.
